Case Study Details
As part of the Tobay Beach Marina bulkhead improvement project, the site’s waterfront drainage system was upgraded. Located in a high-moisture, saltwater environment, the infrastructure needed to combat hydrostatic pressure, water entrapment behind new FRP walls, and soil erosion. The solution involved installing 175 maintainable weep holes to relieve pressure, manage runoff, and extend the structure’s lifespan.
Products Used
